About the Item

This Golden Calcite specimen comes from the Sokolovskoe Iron Mine in Qostaney Oblysy, Kazakhstan. This mine is an increasingly scarce and sought-after source for collectors, and pieces of this quality out of the mine are rare. This specimen displays a warm honey-gold hue that glows under the light. This large cabinet size piece features multiple sharply defined, twinned Calcite crystals dramatically set on a contrasting, textured matrix. The crystals stand out for their clarity and rich saturation. Light moves dynamically across the smooth faces, highlighting the natural growth patterns and twinning. The golden crystals contrast beautifully with the muted tones of the matrix, creating a display that draws the eye from every direction. The scale, aesthetics, and rich color and clarity place this among the top examples from the Sokolovskoe Iron Mine. With material from this location becoming harder to find, a specimen like this is a rare opportunity. Whether displayed in a private collection, placed in a museum case, or used as a statement piece in a home or office, this Golden Calcite offers lasting beauty and collectible value. Its aesthetics, form, and locality make it a standout addition to any fine minerals display. Weight: 25 lb.
